Recently, I was involved in a discussion whether or not one might be able to make a legal pipe bomb on an approved Form 1 (including tax). The available information on the practical ownership of pipe bombs, mines, grenades, poison gas, and other *explosive* destructive devices is quite lacking. In fact, I think I've only seen one actual explosive destructive device for sale -- a Soviet style RPG (grenade plus launcher) that somehow made itself into the States -- asking price $14k if memory serves.
By pipe bomb, I simply mean a length of threaded pipe, two end caps, filled with smokeless powder and lit by means of green safety fuse. Could one legally make and possess such a device through the Form 1 process?
Also, how do people generally store explosive destructive devices. Locked plastic cases are fine for suppressors and machine guns but do people who collect RPGs and mines simply store them in plastic cases in their closest? A locked glass display case in the study? It seems to me that such items might best be stored in a properly constructed magazine rather than the home but I confess complete ignorance when it comes to such things.
Anyone have any experience in this area?
